 icon Smoothly sliding platforms in demos (+1)  
If you are watching a demo where Beethro is riding a platform around, Beethro glides around smoothly (well, semi-smoothly) but the platform jumps from position to position, which is a little odd-looking.

That's actually a tough nut to crack, but I just got this engine enhancement working for DROD RPG (you might imagine it would be even more glaring with larger game tiles), so it shouldn't be too bad to port it over to 3.x. Stay tuned...

Could this also be implemented for cutscenes?

It would be implemented in the game's graphical rendering engine, so it would appear this way everywhere.
